Reminder: Changes Coming to Institutional Review Board Protocol Submission Process
As part of its ongoing efforts to improve the RazorGrant electronic research administration system, the office of the Vice Provost for Research and Economic Development will be rolling out a new, online Institutional Review Board (IRB) submission process in August. The IRB is the body that ensures researchers use safe, ethical practices when engaging in research involving human subjects.
The vice provost's office will provide two training opportunities for researchers to familiarize themselves with the new system. The first is an overview and walk-through of the process, scheduled for August, for people who are already comfortable using RazorGrant. For investigators with protocols ready to submit, the office is also offering hands-on training with the new online system in September and October.
